Challenges for Georgia
It’s a longshot that Tennessee could beat Georgia. However, it’s not impossible. For one thing the Vols are getting really good play at quarterback. Hendon Hooker, a Virginia Tech transfer, has given Tennessee something they’ve been missing the past few years, a reliable, dual-threat quarterback. So far this season Hooker has completed 129 of 186 passes for 1,894 yards, 21 touchdowns and just two interceptions. He’s also run over 450 yards and four scores. While the Georgia offense should thrive against the poor Vol defense, Georgia’s defense has to take Hooker seriously and keep him under control or it could be a stressful evening in Knoxville.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 2:30 PM CT (3:30 PM ET). You can watch this SEC football game on the SEC Network.
